we ripped the skirting off and replaced it with plastic skirting, this way you never have to gloss the skirting again

As said before, leave a few mm around the edge of the room for expansion, and also, keep the flooring stacked in the room for a day or two before laying as it acclimatises to the environment. Means its less likely to warp/bend etc.
